About this app

Welcome to the world of advanced plant care with PPFD Meter, the app that turns your smartphone into a sophisticated tool for optimizing plant growth. Perfect for both seasoned gardeners and beginners, PPFD Meter sets itself apart from standard grow light meter apps with its comprehensive features and intuitive design.

Using your phone's built-in ambient light sensor or the acclaimed UNI-T UT383 BT sensor via Bluetooth, PPFD Meter provides precise and reliable light measurements. This accuracy is essential for understanding and optimizing the light your plants receive, ensuring their health and growth.

PPFD Meter is more than a light measurement tool; it's a guide to understanding your plants' needs. It converts LUX readings into PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and DLI (Daily Light Integral), providing critical insights for your lighting setup. Customize up to five different settings profiles for various environments or growth stages, making your plant care as unique as your garden.

Advanced Light Mapping and Analysis

Step into a new era of light management with PPFD Meter's advanced light mapping capabilities. Our exclusive PAR and DLI Maps feature offers a vivid, detailed representation of light distribution across your grow area, enabling precise adjustments for optimal plant growth.

But that's just the beginning:

In-Depth Light Analysis: Measure light uniformity to ensure even plant growth, and evaluate your setup's PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) to understand the total light output.

Efficiency and Consumption Insights: Assess the efficiency of your lighting system in converting energy into usable light. Track the daily total energy consumption to manage your energy usage and environmental impact effectively.

Comprehensive DLI Tracking: Monitor the Daily Light Integral, a key factor in regulating plant health and growth cycles, ensuring your plants receive the right amount of light each day.

These advanced features make PPFD Meter not just an app, but a vital partner in your indoor gardening journey. It’s a leap forward from typical grow light meter apps, offering a depth of analysis and customization that truly enhances your plant care experience.

Ratings and reviews

I installed it to test my plant lights. To my surprise, the ones I had sucked, even though the looked bright to the eye, the levels were low. I was able to get much better lights. With this app, I'm able to properly determine how far from the different types of plants the lights need to be. My plants have thrived. I just started using a wakeup light. The first one I got did not test as high as it claimed. I was able to find one that does thanks to this app.

It's definitely useful, I can't say 100% how accurate it is but it's close. I use it to dial in intensity and height and it's made a difference. What you think looks right and what actually is can be a big difference so with this it takes a big amount of guesswork away and those extra saved days could be used at peak performance instead of making incremental changes and wait for results..

I dont believe the readings are right. I also have photone app. If you set your phone down and check the reading you get a lower reading. But if you move your phone towards the light and back to the same spot the reading is alot higher. Or if you open the app in the dark then put it under the light you get another low reading. Readings are not accurate. I'm on a Samsung Note 20 so I have the new cameras.
